I thought everything else the police did in New Orleans (and the surrounding vicinity) sounded pretty absurd, including chasing escaping citizens off a bridge (back into the city). This however appears to top that.

While I appreciate the police effort not to discriminate in arrests based on age, I really feel that if this 73 year old woman really DID have a refrigerator in her car (I'm assuming they mean more of a camper/RV) and if that was verifiable, then they should have dropped the looting charges by now.
